Encouraging listeners to stand up for what they believe in, and let go of their inhibitions to shake their bodies and have fun. Troy Alistairhas recently released a live EP, attracting the gaze of local music critics, and is due to release a collection of new singles over the following months while working on a full-length LP, set to be released in 2020.
Carrying on with his love of rock and hip-hop, frontman Taran Guest is no stranger to the musical scene on the East Coast. As a founding member of the group BROTHERS, he has spent the past few years perfecting his sound and songwriting as the band toured behind their first full-length album, Zebra.

Mixing the classic east coast riff-rock sound with some rap, the track (Jump the Gun) is upbeat and dance-worthy, fitting perfectly with the band’s aim to just have fun and get silly.
